हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).\n Assertion (A): DNA fragments stained with ethidium bromide can be directly visualised in normal daylight.\n Reason (R): Ethidium bromide emits bright orange light under visible daylight without needing ultraviolet radiation. \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 4
Both (A) and (R) are false.

Both statements are false. DNA fragments cannot be seen in daylight or without staining; bright orange bands are visible ONLY when ethidium bromide stained gel is exposed to UV light.
